Post a picture of a dorsal view of your T. There are experienced keepers here who can sex a Pokie just by a dorsal shot.

If I am seeing right (very hard to see because it is on a bend in the plastic and light is hitting it weird) it seems to have the light colored "dot" so male but it would be easier with a clear photo of it laying flat on a flat section of plastic

@Mojo288 what do you look for when dorsally sexing ornata? I have 2 and I believe I’ve got. 1.1 pair.

Need a better pic, not sure why you thought this was a good pic, perhaps you didn't actually look at what you posted?

All Poki species can be done via the dot method as small as 2" generally. Hers's a male P rufi below

@Cheo Samad clear black/dark carapace pattern, males will have some patterning but it will be very faint

@Mojo288 hey i went and checked your method against mine and it totally checked out. The one i believe is female has dark carapce markings and the one i believe is male doesnt. Also the male is EXTRMELY green and the female much more purple.
